I'm Raiko Horikawa, the instrument liberator! All right, guys, I'll lay down a beat! Let's get this big concert mission started!
Introduction
Great, I've finally got some good news to report back to Alice. In the far reaches of the multiverse, there really is a musical paradise! You there, human! You love music, don't you?! It was your magic that led us here! I'm Raiko Horikawa, the instrument liberator. I guide the new-age items. I'll lay down a beat, so play along with me. Our music will become electricity, then spirit power, allowing it to transcend dimensions!
Purple Heart
Hm? That instrument of yours... No, that can't be right.
Blue Heart
I created a spell that reincarnates items.
Green Heart
Items are imbued with their user's magic. They can effectively be reincarnated by displacing this magic and giving it a new home in a different item.
Orange Heart
Have you ever felt that, unlike old, well-used tools, new ones take some getting used to? That's 'cause new tools don't have circuits through which magic flows. But there's an easy fix. You can create a virtual copy of these circuits by converting magic into electronic signals. I'm fairly sure shikigami use a similar method.
Pink Heart
If I could cast my spell on a human, it'd upload their mind. Well, that's my guess anyway. I'm not that familiar with how human minds work. If you wanna know more, you're better off asking Wizard... You know her as Yukari Yakumo.
Summer
All this heat makes me wanna play intense, high-tempo songs! I also want Eightfold Division gear. Alice, you should make me some, too!
Login
The world is made out of strings―strings that vibrate and tie things together. The part that vibrates is the main part of any instrument, not just string instruments. The same goes for human voices and that instrument you're holding.
Enhancement
My amproids Fuji and Yura powered up, too!
Return
Yeah, that was a good jam! Let's do it again sometime!
Home 1
Human voices produce words, and they can be recorded as text or sound. These records are essentially the same. They're both imbued with magic.
Home 2
It's thanks to my beats that the Prismriver sisters, the Tsukumo sisters, and Kokoro can all coordinate so well together. That's my job as their drummer!
Home 3
If you master the item mindset, you'll become just like us. Our bodies are tools. That goes for both humans and tsukumogami. Imbue it with magic, and get it moving!
Reaction 1
OK, let's rehearse. One, two!
Reaction 2
Huh, you're sleepy? Wanna sleep on my lap? I'm gonna keep practicing, so I doubt it'll be that comfortable...
Reaction 3
You're sound asleep. I don't know how you managed to keep your head on my lap... *pats head* *pats head some more*
Task
Tasks, huh? Rehearsals are way more fun!
Task Complete
Well done completing your task! Here, lemme give you some head pats!
Mail
Mail? Where does it come from?
Errand Finished
Someone's returned. Why don't we welcome them back with a song?
Start of Battle
Time to start the concert. Everyone, to your positions!
Mid-Wave
Tear straight through 'em, Device Drivers!
Victory
We've gained control of this area! Let's move on to the next one!
Defeat
This ain't good... Fall back! We gotta rethink our strategy!

Character Information
Temperament: Kairai
Kairai (a Touhou LW original) refers to lightning that occurs along the boundary of hot and cold air. This is Raiko's temperament as a futuristic tsukumogami who gained a new body after multiple reincarnations. Her magic helped reform her temperament by allowing controlled reincarnations into other tools.
This temperament is specialized to resist Moon Essence and Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of making anything follow a rhythm (Hidden)
The ability of Raiko Horikawa, the gadget lover (a Touhou LW original). Raiko's original ability became this one when it was concealed by the system of the Capital. However, due to miscellaneous adjustments and the construction of alternate functions, Raiko's musical capabilities are unchanged.
This world's Raiko is the de-facto leader of the electronic instruments. She is a member of Xanadu, the secretive organization that hides in the Capital's Underground Waste Ward and is one of their key strategic assets. She is so valuable that Eiki, the official leader of Xanadu, as well as Wizard and Materializer, the great minds behind most of their operations, treat her as an equal.
Maintaining one's existence and identity is far more difficult than humans can imagine. That's because humans, with their short lives, don't have to try and persist through countless eons. Instead, they pass on their knowledge and experience to the next generation and, in a sense, live many different lives through them. Youkai, being infinitely more resistant to change than humans, know how impossible a task it is to remain completely unchanged. You have to maintain your physical form, spirit, and even your data.
It is believed that Raiko's spell can let tsukumogami transfer their existence to other objects, but perhaps it can also do something similar for the many other types of youkai in Xanadu...

Thunder Beat O'Clock
The Last Word of Raiko Horikawa, the gadget lover (a Touhou LW original). She holds a futuristic concert in this attack. Yougakudan is the name of a legendary band. Raiko still remembers when she first experienced one of their songs, even though she has forgotten almost everything else from that time so long ago. She knew she was listening to the music of the future and the past, and ever since, she has sought to hear their music again. Raiko may be a musician, but she is also a die-hard Yougakudan fan. Unfortunately, she never realized that her spell also has the power to carry music on into the future.
